Old Forester Launches Cocktail Provisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 18, 2018 — Old Forester, America’s First Bottled Bourbon and Bourbon Barrel Foods today launched Cocktail Provisions – a collection of three bitters, two syrups and one tincture, designed to elevate even the simplest cocktails into a craft experience.

Created by Louisville-based Bourbon Barrel Foods and Old Forester Master Taster and Bourbon Specialist Jackie Zykan, Cocktail Provisions are inspired by the unique and robust flavor profiles of Old Forester. Taking the guesswork out of creating high-end cocktails, Zykan and Bourbon Barrel Foods have developed a cocktail line allowing consumers and trade to craft the perfect Old Fashioned, take the hassle out of Oleo-Saccharum syrup and elevate cocktails to new dimensions of flavor.

“We want people to enjoy our Bourbon the way they like it – whether it’s neat, on the rocks or in a hand-crafted cocktail,” said Jackie Zykan, Old Forester Master Taster and Bourbon Specialist. “Cocktail Provisions is there to help you find your inner bartender and discover new, unique ways to experience Old Forester.”
